poor condition then yes because most serial times are in or a trip it would have to stop for something that is the engine was written coralie the vessel was first built in one nine hundred fifty five and as recently as last month was given official clearance to sail. despite this rescue teams say it was hopelessly outdated the crew that was working tell me they notice once you come in through the window at such a pace the boat went down quickly all of this will come to the fore when the ship itself is raised to the surface for investigation but it's the hiring accounts of what happened on the weekend pleasure cruise told the real story rescue workers will continue their efforts throughout the coming hours and days but hope has now gone they will find anyone else alive leaving just the shock and grief. central russia. well for further insight on that story and an interview with the

rescue divers working at the scene check out our website. they give you a harrowing account of visibility the dead bodies suddenly coming to a few one of the divers subscribed what it's like to see the corpses up close as they try to recover the bodies so you can read the whole interview with the crew. in a london court where he's appealing against an earlier ruling to extradite him to sweden the world's most famous whistleblower is wanted for questioning over sexual assault allegations but his supporters fear that if sent a stalker he'll end up in the hands of the u.s. government. following the case from just outside the court building. right. here on cheese day he was flanked by his lawyers and his assistants and he was silent. we were all asking him how he felt about how the day was going to go

but he didn't answer any of us. he's now wearing glasses he looked that he much older than his forty years and certainly much older than me that he did it looks like these months but your house arrest that he's been under had really taken a toll booth of course being. staying at the home of a friend of his out in the countryside where he's had to wear an electronic tag he's been under a curfew an evil thing that's reports the police station every day to that kid to really taken it's toll on him this caring that we're seeing this week is scheduled to last until wednesday but even then the rulings expected to be reserved so we might not hear what decision the judge has made for days or even weeks and insights even if this appeal is rejected but you and i saw says that he vows to take this case higher up the justice chain here in the u.k. first to the supreme court and then if you have to go on to the european court of human rights because he was last in court in february here in the u.k.

where the judge ruled in favor of sweden they said that he should be extradited to sweden saying that there was no reason to expect that after all she wouldn't receive a fair trial by you but that he's now in court today to appeal that decision and he and his supporters have always suggested that the prosecution on sex charges is politically motivated and that the end goal of this is this we did will eventually send him to the u.s. where of course the grand jury is currently investigating the work of wiki leaks and in fact there are significant links between sweden and the u.s. which is the subject of a report that you can see now seven months since today in our souls was released on bail he returns to the high court to appeal his extradition in p. fails will be sent to sweden within ten days but many believe his feet won't touch the ground next stop america i think see the worry is that

sweden which in the past has extradited people to america with a minimum of fuss when they were asked was she was a possible you know taught to bring water awaits him in the u.s. is this. a cruel yard. a new jury a sneer conservative group helped the swedish prime minister friedrich reinfeldt win reelection last year and there's another glaring link in the shape of lawyer thomas bloodstream his firm's representing the two women bringing the sex charges against ourselves in two thousand and one he was minister of justice and is alleged to have helped turned over to asylum seekers suspected by the cia of terror they were sent to egypt and allegedly tortured he might well want to stop wiki leaks from functioning have. some politicians property in france the. united states

is going to grow. large massive. sweden once on sex crime charges the us is reportedly preparing an espionage case and it suits nor nato members sweden just fine to be a conduit in this case and in others they get. all the benefits of being an intelligence partner of the united states without the baggage of being in nato sweden seen as an easier way for the u.s. to get their hands on ourselves particularly after it requested the extradition of hacker gary mckinnon from britain which so far hasn't been granted but critics say the u.k. is just as much in computes with the u.s. as sweden has today that's always goes back to court in london he'll have an eye on the british justice system which could save him from being extradited but the other will be firmly fixed on this we did a country that insist on its own neutrality was turning asylum seekers a bit to get us to allegedly to be tortured only our souls and his stuff that wiki

leaks know what else we did he's got to hide your enemies haughty down to. our time and go where you can always. of course on t.v. dot com along with the latest news blogs and videos is just a taste of. some of the items you can find there right now dramatic new pictures of the moment a russian passenger plane was forced to make an emergency landing on water an eastern siberia spectacular. and have a look at this street racer pushes his super car to them so right here in central moscow there's a need for speed and total carnage. the half brother of afghan president hamid karzai has been assassinated in his own home initial report suggested i might cover so i was shot dead by one of his own bodyguards the taliban has claimed responsibility and described as one of its

biggest achievements karzai headed the kandahar province a volatile region on the border with pakistan he was often accused in the media reports of having links to afghanistan's massive illegal drugs trade and what his assassination might mean for the country we are joined live by. a political analyst from kabul good to see you thank you for joining us there was a popular perception of. a major drug kingpin how will that illegal but hugely lucrative business in the country be affected by his death do you think. of course he was blamed. for having. afghanistan and he was believed to be a big corrupt personality into sounds a lot of inside the government as well and he was blamed also to be on. the sea and. he had that close relationship with the american forces and then

cut off the shoals into something afghanistan particularly end in kandahar province now i think. smugglers into something afghanistan. lost one of the. key man in one. party in. afghanistan but i think. here's a situation where not a huge negative effect on draco control particularly among those people who are willing to wait for this guy in kandahar a moment ago you said. it was a link to the cia it's often been said that he was a us puppet and have been working for the cia does this mean though that washington now has less control over afghanistan and how would they replace there's

undoubtedly influential figure. of course he was blamed to be. cia as i mentioned before but he did night to be linked with c. . to be working for a for. it but he. he confirmed that the. past couple of years he confirmed that he had a good relationship with the american troops american officer. in kandahar because of this i think that americans lost one off their. members. of the earth or. he had. to drop in fighting against the taliban. insurgents. but at the same time he was accused of being involved in corruption in.

trafficking and everything because of this and many believe that. here. now. well seek for another person to replace him so you know allegations here the heart brother of the president. linked to the cia on the cia payroll and yet one of the biggest drug kingpins in afghanistan certainly some murky stories in the shadows there are some connections now the u.s. is preparing to withdraw its troops from afghanistan claiming they are leaving a stable country behind bearing in mind that assassination is like this one what's happened to the president's half brother still taking place what's going to happen when the soldiers and the. i think in general. this is an issue and will not have a. negative effect on the american.

strategic. american struggle against the taliban and al qaeda. has some problems. because the last not all for the important important. man in. the same day he was an influential. political personality in the south of afghanistan in general i don't believe that. i mean a policy in afghanistan particularly military t.g. will be effected by. a political analyst live in thank you. the french parliament voted on extending the military campaign in libya comes after recent remarks tries to phone sinister suggesting that the rebels should talk to

colonel gadhafi is despite rumors that one of the most active advocates of the nato led invasion might be starting to back pedal on the campaign. reports he's indeed growing in paris that what was intended to be a short lived mission is turning into an embarrassingly long war. if you knock out. the check. books is like bragging they'll destroy their opponents they're often wrong and gets a nasty surprise i french foreign minister should pay postage france would be libya in quotes days or weeks the wars into a fourth month and the final round inside nicolas sarkozy with his western allies seen shocked the little opponents fighting back well it's not just an embarrassment for sarkozy and some about him for all nato and the whole west piracy

even admits all the libya's rebels but on some somalia. wench to libya for training with the last two or three years. documented we have the fly record and everything else so it seems strange in many ways the whole western support of some of that i will groups in libya must be questioned but in some cases i think we are effectively arming al qaeda. it's all making a mockery of the u.n. vote on foreign intervention in a country where a leading their good person. getting. another. witness is made of libya's causing widespread atrocities every one military person did that was supposedly a casualty there were ten civilians frauds categorically ruled out sending grilled troops but expose predict is the only way they'll to break the libyan deadlock the

moves the splitting the nato coalition silvio berlusconi head of keep italy admits invading libya was a mistake and did a study you the fridge defense minister says the brutal should negotiate with their feet this is the same man that they're already indicted in the international court so technically i mean from a legal point of view it's even impossible rocher of staying in the u.s. vote wally foreign bombs would bring havoc in libya but you pasted the latest tools that can support the love ruffle quote lloyd lee diplomats speak for a roll with elections just annoying months away psagot advisors said a successful war could bryza wrecked his chances instead one paper writes libya's becoming a slow motion call crash for france's deeply unpopular president so is easy jogging

for excessive sweating is understandable as his libyan sprint is turning into a marathon the new bushell see paris. nato is lying when it says its aim and libya is to protect civilians well that's claimed by independent journalist terry mason you can see the full interview about just about ten minutes time here but for now it's a preview. starting from the moment it was decided to launch this operation the lives of civilians were not taken into account and this is just the beginning it is rather a question of the rearrangement of this region and we are yet to see a series of wars in this case nato keeps lying at their restage during the war in costs of war in nato would normally lie only to conceal its mistakes and this time it's being done not to consume mistakes but to conceal the strategy.

now or twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow human rights groups in israel are preparing to go to court over a new law which makes it illegal to boycott jewish settlements on occupied palestinian territory the so-called boycott bill approved by the parliament in tel aviv imposes fines and allows settlers to sue boycott organizers for damages rights groups say the legislation is completely unlawful and violates free speech israeli settlements on occupied territories are illegal under international nor have i l and executive director of the association for civil rights in israel says the bill is a stark reminder of an ongoing erosion of civil rights in the country. the passing of this law it was a bad day for freedom of speech a bad day for is a democracy and even more unfortunately because only the current representation of the rising wave of the to this nation that is gradually drowning the foundations of

is that it worked with as well for many years and i think rightfully so has been recognized as a country with strong democratic out your view but what we're seeing here is the gradual sad process in which the israeli parliament is by itself doing eroding because of a crowd of principles not just the poor longer keep pushing for more than four decades. but also targeting the rights of we know that he's in israel and specifically arab citizens of the state of israel targeting human rights organisations and the ability to function freely something that we've always taken for granted and is now being gradually eroded and that independence of the high court of justice and its ability to continue to defend human rights and civil liberties in israel. with us here live from moscow let's check out some other world headlines for you in brief a protestant paraders again violent in northern ireland's capital of belfast as one fires one but to mark the annual twelfth of july celebrations catholic protesters
